Overcame the jinx of the banked three pointer...
Not that anyone has to be happy about it, but road games like this happen. It's basketball, not football. Greensboro hit some bullshit shots and a few possession fell their way. We got tight, played like ass for a while... They played some inspired ball. But it's still a win. Like NC State beating Loyola Chicago by 2, Syracuse being in a 5 point game with North Florida with a minute left, or Louisville going to OT with Old Dominion - shit happens all the time.
Crawford with one turnover and one made three while shooting 50% from the field for 17 points... Ultimate test of a player being "due" to make one since he was 0% from deep for the first 39 minutes and 53 seconds of the game... Gotta love that as a coach. Run a double screen and hope for a switch to get a Crawford mismatch, get the mismatch just like you wanted - but instead of driving their big man at the 3 point line with a guard defending our 4 for a put-back (and Crawford was shooting 70% inside the arc), he just drills one from NBA range. Ridiculous.
Arians, Dinos, McClinton, and whoever else plays forward for this team cannot all combine for 5 rebounds and hope to win games. Piss poor effort on the boards tonight. Tying them in overall boards is a joke and 100% lack of effort.
